Yasmine Sassa

Yasmine Sassa is an Associate Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, affiliated with the Department of Light and Materials Physics. Her research focuses on quantum materials, including superconductors, magnetic systems, and topological materials. She leads the Quantum Technologies and Materials (QuTM) group since 2019, exploring electronic and magnetic properties of materials using advanced techniques like ARPES, RIXS, and muon spin spectroscopy. Her work bridges fundamental physics and technological applications, such as spintronics and quantum computing.

Yasmine's educational background and courses taught include roles as a teacher for Experimental Physics (SK1105) and assistant for Electromagnetism and Waves (SK1115).

Her research emphasizes unconventional superconductivity, charge modulations, and magnetic excitations. Recent studies include exploring charge order in cuprates and magnetic properties of van der Waals materials. Techniques like neutron scattering and muon spin relaxation reveal structural and magnetic dynamics across materials.

Awards and grants are not explicitly listed, but her group’s work is supported by various institutional and collaborative funding mechanisms. She advises researchers in her lab, though no specific student names are provided. The QuTM group collaborates on projects involving materials synthesis, transport measurements, and theoretical modeling.
